linux terminal text manipulation

I am now studying linux command line and this question is in my head for almost a week but i think still i have not found optimal solution, question is next: i have file with is formatted in a bad way one word on each line:

SUSE

FEDORA

SUSE

UBUNTU

FEDORA


10.2 

10 

11.0 

8.04 

8 
10.3 

6.10 

2006-12-07 

2008-11-25 

2008-06-19 

2008-04-24 

2007-11-08 

2007-10-04 

2006-10-26 

2007-05-31 

2007-10-18 

as you see those are linux distros with version and release dates right formatting is next :

2008-11-25  SUSE    10.2

2008-06-19  FEDORA  10

2008-04-24  SUSE    11.0
...

I believe there must be very simple way to sort this right, i mean with one line of commands, not to save in other file and then paste in other file.
